Are You Ready for an Office Romance?

There are only a handful of reasons why most people pursue an office romance, with genuine interest, excitement, and promotion being among the top three. The jobs that are most likely to spawn an office romance include human resources, real estate, marketing/advertising and publishing. The jobs least likely to sprout love at work involve art, fashion design, agriculture, transportation and accounting. And while it may feel right to lead with your heart, there are six important questions you should answer before you proceed, as both your job and reputation could be at stake.

You might be attracted to them, but are they really attracted to you too? Are you taking a little harmless flirting for attraction and the desire to date? This is important because if the other person is expressing real interest in you too, then you know it’s a mutual, serious attraction. But if the attraction is one-sided, you’re not getting the green light to pursue them romantically.

There’s lots of cosmic action this week. First we have Mercury transiting into Aries on Monday (through April 13), which is sure to put a fiery spin on communications. Mars entering Taurus on Tuesday (through May 10) can bring out your sensuality, practicality or bullheadedness. This weekend, the Full Moon eclipse in Libra energizes sharing and partnerships, but Pluto and Uranus will create some intense interactions. The questions is, what do you need to change to improve your love life? Best days for socializing: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Here’s your love horoscope!

Mercury in your sign will heighten your boldness and brainpower, while your Mars ruler in Taurus will evoke your desire for physical pleasure. A massage, scrumptious food, natural surroundings or anything else that pleases the senses will inspire passion. Thursday is an excellent time for a sexy tryst. Cooperation or compromise will be a challenge during this weekend’s Full Moon eclipse.

Do You Believe in Ghosts?

As a practicing psychic medium, I am often asked if I am a ghost hunter. I’m not. That’s because I don’t have to go hunting for ghosts—they come to me! When you read, see or hear the word “ghost,” what image does your brain conjure? What thoughts do you have in your mind? If you’re like a lot of people, you may think of how ghosts are portrayed in TV, film, literature an pop culture. There’s the movie, Ghost, with Demi Moore and the late Patrick Swayze. There’s Marley’s ghost in A Christmas Carol, and there are a ton of ghost hunting shows on television. Sometimes ghosts are portrayed as harmless spirits and other times they’re portrayed as malevolent.

The word “ghost” is defined as: the soul of a dead person; a disembodied spirit imagined as a vague, shadowy or evanescent form wandering among or haunting living persons. In all of my years as a professional psychic and medium, this is the first time I’ve ever looked up that word in the dictionary! I also looked up “haunting,” and it is defined as: remaining in the consciousness; not quickly forgotten.

Your Perfect Mate is Out There too!

I first gave a reading for “Maria” about a year or so ago. “Maria” was in her late 20s and was very upset because her girlfriend broke up with her and she wanted to know why. I told “Maria” that her girlfriend wasn’t ready to be in a serious, long-term relationship because she was still experimenting with relationships. I told her that talking about buying a house together freaked her girlfriend out. The cards also revealed that “Maria” was quite a catch for someone—she was intelligent, spiritual, had a great job, she’s beautiful and she had emotionally supportive parents and siblings. The cards also revealed that “Maria” was very specific regarding the physical appearance of the woman she wanted to marry some day—her perfect mate.

The cards advised “Maria” to set aside her search for the perfect mate and concentrate instead on a potential business deal. She would soon get an idea for her own business if she didn’t let herself get distracted. The cards also indicated that “Maria” would meet her perfect mate in about a year. “Maria” expressed disappointment that it would be a year before she met someone and the business deal confused her. She sounded skeptical. I like skeptics!

Your Weekend Horoscope

When sumptuous Venus in Taurus squares flashy Jupiter in Leo, desires are inflated and appetites become insatiable. This energy is all about lust, luxury, and the indulgence of whatever it is that turns you on. However, all that glitters is not gold! Be careful not to mistake style for substance. A grounding effect from potent Pluto on Sunday will reveal what’s real. Here’s your Weekend Horoscope!

You are playing loose and fast with both love and money. You are keen on taking a risk and you don’t mind spending a little extra in order to fulfill your desires. If it’s a pay-to-play situation, you should expect that the fun will be over when the money runs out.

Use What Mother Nature Gave You to Beat Stress

Stress is an equal-opportunity, free-for-all condition of life. No one takes on stress willingly or says, “Stress? Yes, please.” And because stress is something we can’t avoid, nature has equipped us with ways to counteract it—we can use our five senses to beat stress.

Stress causes us to disconnect from ourselves, causing us to become absorbed and distracted, but by using your 5 senses—sight, sound, smell, touch and taste, you can counteract the negative effects of stress and bring a little Zen into your hectic life. For those who are cut off from one sense, like sight or hearing, Mother Nature compensates by heightening the other senses. Try using your five senses and see which ones work best for you in the battle against stress.

The Struggle to Stay Together

I have a very special client. She started reading with me early on my journey with California Psychics. She was in a relationship with a man who was very painful and agonizing to her heart and spirit. He would come and go, leaving her with empty promises. There were problems integrating families. He would spend endless hours on the dating site where they met. She would watch him on the site obsessively. Her response was one of rage and exhaustion. She was in spiritual turmoil.

She came to me through divine intervention with a mixture of emotions. She loved him, she hated him and most of the time, she thought it was hopeless. But, I always saw them together. I would say, “Please understand, he loves you deeply. He’s not out of your life and you will be choosing between two men.” She called my prediction the “No Way” prediction. She didn’t think they would stay together.

Suffering Through Breakups

When it comes to breakups, men and women handle them differently. Men initiate some kind of change in their life, while women tend to stick to their routines and daily rituals. Men become busier than normal, making themselves scarce from friends and family for at least a few weeks. Women want to be comforted by their closest friends. Women express their feelings and emotions, while men tend to bottle everything up. On the surface, it seems like women have a harder time dealing with breakups than men, but the opposite is actually true. Women are actually better equipped to handle breakups! Here’s why breakups are tougher on men.

The kind of changes men make after a breakup are often ill advised. That’s because women are the building blocks of a man’s social network, confidence and even wardrobe. Women keep track of their partner’s appointments, important events, help them get organized, and encourage healthier behavior. But once they’re gone, all the care they showed goes with them. Now he’s left to fend for himself.
